| The Girl Scout Sign | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| "The Girl Scout Sign is symbolic of the Girl Scout Promise"� The girl holds up her right | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| hand with the first three fingers extended - each finger stands for one part of the | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Promise - and the little finger is held down by the thumb.� Girl Scouts make the sign | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| whenever they recite the Girl Scout Promise, when they are invested, rededicated, or | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| receive a patch, try it, or badge.� The Girl Scout sign is also part of the Girl Scout | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Handshake. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Girl Scout Handshake | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Girl Scout handshake is a formal way of greeting other Girl Scouts and Girl Guides. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| You shake hands with the left hand and give the Girl Scout sign with your right hand.� | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Friendship Circle | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| The friendship circle stands for an unbroken chain of friendship with Girl Scouts and | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Girl Guides around the world.� Girl Scouts and leaders stand in a circle crossing right | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| arm over left arm and holding hands with the persons on both sides.� Everyone is | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| silent as a friendship squeeze is passed around the circle.� It is recommended that you | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| put your right foot forward when you receive the squeeze, so that others know where | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| the squeeze is travelling throughout the circle. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Quiet Sign | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| The quiet sign is used to let people in meetings and gatherings know that it is time to | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| be quiet.� Someone in the group raises their right hand with five fingers extended.� As | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| others in the group see the sign, they stop talking and raise their hands also.� As soon | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| as everyone is quiet, the meeting continues. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
